DAX Formula to get the input per process based on filter by date

I have a requirements to get the total input per process per month but it seems i'm getting an error my code and not giving me the correct value. I have a slicer to select a process that i need to show all the input and the defect performed and also have a date selection using also slicer.

To display the data i have a matrix table were the rows composed of defect list and the column is date and month, values are qty per defect, rate.  the rate formula is qty/total input per process.

DAX Measure with error.

 CALCULATE(SUM(DS[Touched]), ALLSELECTED(DS[defectlist]), ALLSELECTED(DS[createddatetime]), DS[process]=[Selected Process])

 

can anyone help me with the correct DAX measure

Hi @Anonymous - you can modify the measure to correctly calculate the total input for the selected process and take slicers into account

TotalInputPerProcess =
CALCULATE(
SUM(DRY_DS[Touched]),
ALLSELECTED(DRY_DS[defectlist]), -- Keep defect list slicer
ALLSELECTED(DRY_DS[createddatetime]), -- Keep date slicer
DRY_DS[process] = [Selected Process] -- Filter for the selected process
)

 

For your defect rate calculation (Rate = QTY / TotalInputPerProcess), make sure you use the newly created TotalInputPerProcess measure

DefectRate =
DIVIDE(
SUM(DRY_DS[QTY]),
[TotalInputPerProcess],
0 -- Handles division by zero cases
)

hope it works at your end, let me know if any adjustments.

Just made some changes on the code, the grand total is correct but still not getting the correct values per defectlist if i used to get the rate. the values of test2 should be all 50,349.
 

TotalInputPerProcess =
CALCULATE(
SUM(DS[Touched]),
ALLSELECTED(DS[defectlist]), -- Keep defect list slicer
ALLSELECTED(DS[createddatetime]), -- Keep date slicer
filter(DS, DS[process] = [Selected Process]) -- Filter for the selected process
)

 

-- this is working if the process value is hardcoded

CALCULATE(SUM(DS[Touched]), ALL(DS[defectlist]),DS[process]="SAMPLE")

Thanks for the reply. This is the error i'm getting from the code.

A function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.
